Triage email with a view of active Ably channels
Start a daily pass with active channel context and the Gmail conversations that may need attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List threads
Retrieves a list of email threads from a gmail account, identified by `user id` (email address or 'me'), supporting filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
Inbox triage misses context when the signals that work is moving live in Ably channels.
- Review email and active channels in one pass.
- Spot threads that may need a next step sooner.
- Build a repeatable daily triage routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Describe which Gmail threads to review and how channel presence informs triage.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does presence tell me what happened earlier?
The source description supports fetching current channel presence. Historical activity requires a separate source or user-provided context.
Can Notis decide which threads matter?
Yes, describe your triage criteria in the instruction. The workflow can only use information available in the returned threads and presence.
